2018 Endorsements

Sen Bernie Sanders

US Senator from Vermont

“Today I had the opportunity to meet with Senator Bernie Sanders. Senator Sanders is a champion for all these values, as am I. I’m truly honored to receive his endorsement and I will continue to fight for ALL working families – regardless race, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or disability – to ensure that we don’t reserve the American Dream for only a select few or allow it fade away.”

Sen. Victor Torres

Florida House of Representatives

“I am proud to announce my endorsement of Dr. Lee Mangold for Florida House of Representatives, District 28. Over the last year, I have seen Lee build a grassroots campaign with the support of his community. He is deeply connected to Seminole County—he grew up there, went to the local public schools, and started his family and his business there. He understands the needs of his community and is the best choice to represent them in the state legislature. Lee will be a leader and a fighter for the people of District 28!”

Rep. Carlos Guillermo-Smith

Florida House of Representatives

“The reason I decided I wanted to jump on to Lee’s team and very proudly say that I was supporting his race and his campaign is not only because he’s such a passionate advocate for the issues we care about, it wasn’t only because like me – and like many of you – he has a major problem with the Florida Legislature spending $67M on the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas School Safety Act to train and arm teachers and faculty in our public schools, but I’m also supporting Lee because he has a very strong campaign, he has a community of support, I’m impressed even by the fact we have such a great great community turnout here in the district he’s running in, but also I’m supporting Lee Mangold because I know that he can win!”

Rep. Amy Mercado

Florida House of Representatives

“It’s my pleasure to endorse Lee Mangold for State Representative for District 28. He is an advocate for strong public education, affordable healthcare, strong environmental controls, and legislation that puts the people first in this state.

Lee is a trusted leader who will represent his district and the State of Florida with honor and integrity in Tallahassee.”

Gov. Martin O'Malley

“Lee is a champion for public education, a sustainable environment, and working families across the state of Florida. With a background in business, cybersecurity, and education, Lee has the experience to be a true voice for his community. He is the kind of leader Florida needs and who I’m confident will serve the best interests of the people of District 28.”
